:::: 2.8: Melee Weapon Balancing - Melee Weapons seem to fall behind Martial Weapons in terms of usefulness

Set "neutron.meleeBoost" to "0" to disable

Melee has been enhanced by adding a base damage bonus based off the melee skill a user has, this is the same magnitude that Martial Weapons currently get from Martial Arts.

Melee Skill < 70; +1 damage
Melee Skill < 90 and Strength >= 5; +3 damage
Melee Skill < 120 and Strength >= 5 and Dexterity >= 5; +5 damage
Melee Skill >= 120 and Strength >= 5 and Dexterity >= 5; +8 damage

Melee Weapons have also been adjusted - for the most part this is just a reduction of Action Point cost to put them on a more even footing.

Shovel (AP -1), Knife (damage +1, add crit 6), Club (AP -1), Spiked Club (AP -1), Sharpened Knife (add crit 10), Axe (damage +1/+4, AP -1, crit 15), Police Baton (AP -1), Pry Bar (AP -1, Stun 15), Soviet army Knife (Crit 20), Lenin's Wrath (AP -1, crit 15), Taiga Machete (AP -1, crit 10), and Sabre (AP -1, crit 20, pierce 50); all of these got +5 sequence also added
